Hi,
I wasn’t even going to write this blog post but then it occurred to me…
… I haven’t had a good ole rant for a long time – like… almost a week! Plus, I’ve been holding off making a public statement and taking a stance on this issue for too long. And that just ain’t me. Nobody is ever gonna die wondering what I think about something I consider to be important. Those who know me well know that you can take that to the bank.
So, what am I cooking up today? Well, I just want to rave on about everyone’s favorite misery whinge at the moment and throw my 2 cents into the ring.
It seems as though Internet Marketers are forming up into TWO big opposing groups – those who wish to deceive and con versus those who don’t. I will call the former group the “Decepticons”, mainly because that is what they are mostly about – deceiving and conning.
Just in case you aren’t familiar with the concepts of the movie “Transformers”, here is the Wikipedia definition of a Decepticon:
“The Decepticons are usually depicted as the antagonists in the fictional universes of the Transformers toyline and related comics and cartoons, and the enemies of the Autobots.”
In other words they are the “bad guys.” So, moving along with this theme and relating it to Internet Marketing …
Decepticons will use false subject lines such as:

I hope that STUPID headline gave you a good laugh. But I have a reason for it (apart from giving you a bit of a chuckle).
Well, we’ve ALL seen them – sales pages making OUTRAGEOUS claims for income and wealth. Do you believe them? We’ve seen – Rich Jerk, Rich Janitor, Rich This, Rich That, blah, blah, blah… And now we have the latest variation of this theme – the Rich 16 Year Old.
It would seem that headlines and claims are now becoming more and more bold, outrageous and even aggressive, so it goes to follow that people are probably NOT believing them. Hence, in the dog-chasing-its-tail syndrome, the claims are becoming more and more ridiculous and sensationalistic.
My headline here is PATENTLY ridiculous. I deliberately made it so just to show you how stupid things are getting. What prompted me to do this? Read on…
I recently received a spam email from somebody (supposedly) about a 16 year old girl who is SUPPOSEDLY making millions with “her” system. There was also the provocative claim that she had recently made $405,179.29 in just 45 days. And then she claims: “That’s $119,738.50 in my pocket in the last 7 days, and I never even had to leave home for it!” Heady stuff huh? Against my better judgment (*sigh*), I decided to check it out. I was curious – and therein lies a little LESSON in itself, but I will press on.

Traffic. It’s the LIFE-BLOOD of any website.
Even the prettiest, most chock-filled-with-information website on the Internet that gets little or no traffic might as well be closed down. It’s USELESS!
Let’s think for a moment about a traditional bricks and mortar store. Why do you think the leases and rents in popular shopping malls are so high? Because THAT is where all the traffic is! Those are the locations where the highest profits will be made.
The owners of those stores pay fortunes in rental space for those prime locations.
Back to websites…
… how is YOUR website going? Are you getting plenty of traffic? What’s your Alexa Ranking? [yeah, I know – it’s only a rough guide but check out the AR of this site.]
More traffic = more sales, providing you have targeted products to sell to that traffic.

Yes, my promotion for Marketing With Alex 3.0 was a huge success! First thing, I want to congratulate all of Alex's new students! You have taken a big step towards being successful. Having a mentor is going to make a huge difference in your results. That is of course, if you listen to what Alex teaches you and take action on it.
Of course, I wanted to sell as many as possible but I set a goal for myself at 10. I picked this number based on the amount of bonuses that I was going to offer. Actually, I would have offered more bonuses but my bonus included one on one training and I was planning on using my GVO conference room which has a 10 member limit.
I was able to make my goal just barely, with the last sale showing up the next morning after the sales video was taken down. Must have been a delay with the payment processing or something. Anyhow, it was a pleasant surprise. I thought that I had fallen one short of my goal and low and behold my 10th sale had come in while I was sleeping.
Now I am not trying to brag here. I am just really excited because this is one of the most lucrative promotions I have done so far. I am telling you about it because I want to you to see what is possible if you just take action using a proven tactics and strategies.
OK, what tactics and strategies might that be?
I have decided to create a report that goes into detail and lays everything out in a step by step blueprint that anyone can follow. For now, I will give you an outline of the major steps that were involved and then I would like you to give me some feed back as to what steps you would like to learn about the most.
